Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Indications:

• Large, heavy breasts, which may be the cause of breathing difficulties, back, shoulder, and neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap indentations, and chafing under the breasts.

• The procedure is done under general anesthesia in the hospital.
• Incisions are made around the pigmented area (the nipple-areolar complex) and extended vertically below the nipple and slightly in the fold under the breast.
• The nipple-areolar complex is moved upward to the desired location and excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed.
• A new breast contour is created that is almost always more attractive than the old one.

• More attractive contour and smaller breast size
• Freedom from health problems associated with excessively large breast
• Improved self image

• The incisions are covered with light dressings, and the breasts are placed in a compression bra.
• The bra holds the breasts symmetrically during initial healing.
• Initial discomfort subsides daily and can be controlled with oral medication.
• Scars will fade in 12-24 months.
• Surgery may eliminate the ability to breast feed.
